    Adstream
    I have used Adstream for my publishing/editing company and I loved how it was able to reach different types of clients in different areas of life. To me, that is crucial because I am able to reach a broader audience which in turn helps me package my product differently for different clients.

    They have the lowest eCPM of any network. We're using them based on their team's advice, thus their eCPM isn't quite as high as their benchmarks. Since MoPub was retired, we have not seen the same eCPMs as previously, particularly in the US, which was their primary market.

    • Not a lot of inventory in the EMEA region.
    • Not a lot of high impact formats. Mainly banners and not a lot of interstitials and videos.
    • Reporting tools not very advanced. You can't get a lot of granular details from the tool.

    I personally am not involved in the decision to renew the product, but I had only positive experiences with the product and thus would recommend its use and renewal.

    MoPub is a great SSP. It is a trusted partner that can help you scale campaigns as well as educate the client about the benefits of programmatic advertising. They have a lot of inventory and a great support team. I wouldn't say they are perfect because reporting is not very good and some billing issues are not as transparent as they should be.

    MoPub's support is really good. Their team is knowledgeable on their product and the programmatic ecosystem in general and they are very helpful. The only 2 things that I would point out would be that their response times are not very fast and that there is a lot of rotation on the account management team.

    I love Adstream because it does a great job at streamlining its ads to different components and different industry providers unlike Apple iAds and Google AdMob. It also is very helpful for a new business like myself to reach different audiences and hopefully generate some revenue from these types of diversified ads.

    We've been attempting to make AppLovin Max perform the same way as MoPub had for us. The value we get from AppLovin Max differs from the ROI we get from other mediation platforms. We keep convincing ourselves that AppLovin Max will eventually function similarly to MoPub.

    • CPMs are very low compared to other mediation partners which has caused a negative impact on our revenue
